Don't sell it short, it is that thingy with TWO holes in the middle!
I know the problem now, I had beer while disassembly and a martini before reassembly - now it all makes sense.
I did get it together, the thing that was driving me crazy is the rebuild kit covers every version of this carb made (3 or 4 I think). So at the end there is a big ol' pile of gaskets, o-rings, springs and I look at it and think, "what are the odds that one of these was supposed to go into my carb?"
Hopefully in the next couple of months I will be able to fire it up...
I have been reading up on injecting this motor. It becomes a little more work because it is odd fire. But many have worked out solutions using different TBI systems and crank position sensors. But I was planning on running the carb until it leaves me hanging on some hill, we will see.
Rainy day, might swap the front output on my NP205 today, putting a 32 spline version in because the 30 spline version is not hardcore enough for me, ha ha. Really I just wanted to use the same yokes and joints front and rear.
I am hoping my rebuild kit for the SM465 comes in today. I was poking around and the rear output bearing was wasted. Everything else looked good (makes me wonder why the rear one went), but I decided to do a full rebuild anyway. New bearings, synchros, shift forks and gaskets. Should be fun.
